    Maple Syrup

    Maple syrup here runs in the $45-65 range for a gallon..I think it was $54 last year most places.... smaller amounts are proportionately higher due to having a "set amount of cost for packaging".... I have had Birch, and walnut, and one other kind, I am thinking it was poplar..... Birch is very...

    Maple Syrup

    Sugar maples will give the sweetest syrup... there are different types of maples. Read anything about the size and number of taps... do not over do the tree. Don't know about your climate there. You have to have freezing weather, then as the days start to warm above freezing the sap will...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Was an interesting post @CrealCritter .... There are a few things that don't really pertain to the small farmer... and the size is one of them. I would rather have a shorter legged animal than a tall one... an old farmer said to me one time is you can't eat the air under their belly... meaning...

    At least you don't need to count all the babies on both hands like with chicks...;);):gig:gig Never saw where you had weaned the calves off last year. I don't post alot but try to check in somewhat regularly... Are all 3 calves this year bulls also? If Romeo was an angus, and produced bull...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Have to disagree with you to some extent. The possums and raccoons are some of the worst for getting into the chickens and doing damage....the possums carry deadly diseases for horses, and both will get into feed cans for the animals; skunks are notorious with getting into eggs/nests... The...

    Memes That Make You Giggle

    Our drive in movie theatre still has the speakers on the posts, my older truck still has the cigarette coil in the cigarette lighter spot, I still have one of the electric skillet fryers, roll up windows in my ranger pickup, have my mom's set of nutcracker and nut meat picks, and still use...

    FarmerJamie - A new beginning

    Yeah, I wonder why some days also. DS GF would not ever consider eating home canned... or anything because she "had to" growing up when her grandmother was poor, and her mother just doesn't, even though she learned it. She's not much for cooking at home anymore either... but when she does it...
